Kinship is a reckoned in a number of a
different ways around the world,
resulting in a variety of types of
decent patterns and kin groups.
Unilineal Descent
 The traces decent only through a single
line of ancestors, male or female. Both
males and females are members of a
unilineal family, but descent links are only
recognized through relatives of one
gender. The two basic forms of unilineal
descent are referred to as patrilineal and
matrilineal.
Patrilineal Descent
Both males and females belong to their father’s
kin group but not their mother’s. However, only
males pass on their family identity to their
children. A woman’s children are of her husband’s
patrilineal line.
Matrilineal Decent
The form of unilineal descent that follows a
female line. When using this pattern, individuals
are relatives if they can trace descent through
females to the same female ancestor. While both
male and female children are members of their
mother's matrilineal decent group, only daughter
can pass on the family line to their offspring.
Bilineal Descent
When both patrilineal and matrilineal decent
are combined.
